This is great - really comfortable rooms - modern clean bathroom with unlimited hot water - better WiFi than we have in Australia.
Losang the owner is charming and incredibly helpful - has arranged train tickets and trip back to Lanzhou via the Bingling Grottos. Good food in the restaurant and close to Labrang Monastery

Due to a visit by China's Panchen Lama to the Labrang Monastery, all foreigners were ordered out of the city for 'security reasons' - which meant we had to leave after staying there less than a day. The OT Hotel's owner was very supportive, warning us in time to quickly visit the monastery, and arranging a bus to Lanzhou especially for the hotel's guests.
Our (double standard) room and food at the hotel's restaurant were more than adequate for their prices. Our only negative would be the lack of internet connections in the rooms.

With the city spread out beneath us and a cool breeze floating softly by we chatted for maybe an hour. There were several moments of silence when either I didn’t know what to say or I was afraid that I didn’t know enough Chinese to finish the conversation I’d start. ...
